Ray Sibille, Arlington Park's fourth leading jockey of all time who retired earlier this summer, underwent successful hip replacement surgery Aug. 24 at Weiss Memorial Hospital.

Sibille was doing well in post-operative recovery, according to his wife, Dot.

"Tuesday's surgery took less than an hour," Dot Sibille said Wednesday, "although the doctor said he was surprised Ray was able to ride as long as he did with all the damage in there. I just left the hospital, and Ray was sitting up comfortably in a chair. He's fine now. They are going to let him go home Friday."

Sibille, born in Sunset, La., will celebrate his 52nd birthday Sept. 13.
